I don't think they're actually *our* deb builds, are they ? AFAIK the package build scripts are maintained by external distro packagers and the latest scripts are pulled into the Catalyst driver kit with each new release.

Not sure if the script runs aticonfig or not, good point though.

Note that running aticonfig --initial is not always needed, depending on the degree of change between the previous version and current version of fglrx, but we strongly recommend that it be run every time anyways.

OK, got it. Sorry for being a bit annoying

Anyway, congratulations guys for an exceptional release!
It really fixes a lot of issues. Fantastic!

this new driver is a piece of...i have an hd4670 and with this new driver the screen has artifacts everywhere, the games that used to work are full of text bugs (missing characters, LOL?!), at this point im totally pissed off, i installed radeon driver and ill stay with it for a while...

OS: Fedora 13
Kernel: 2.6.34 (custom)
X.Org: 1.8.0 (from repo) but when i was testing fglrx i was using a custom compiled xorg 1.8.0

I never ever ran aticonfig --initial, any sane xorg.conf with
Driver "fglrx"
should do. But it is very important to remove all traces of the previous driver: shut down X, modprobe -r fglrx, remove all files (including /etc/ati/ and /lib/modules/*/video/fglrx). Using a good package manager instead of AMD's installer is preferable because it keeps track of the installed files and can remove them for you (gentoo's portage is good, I don't know about others).

The reboot isn't needed either, but it's simpler than manually shutting down X and removing the kernel module.
